As Halloween draws near, it’s time to prepare for a cozy movie marathon. While my family steers clear of horror films (myself included), we embrace the fun side of Halloween with movies that keep the chills to a minimum. We love tales of vampires, werewolves, zombies, witches, and enchanted places—but I can only rewatch ‘Hocus Pocus,’ ‘Casper,’ ‘Halloweentown,’ and ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’ so many times!
